No Longer "University of Second Choice!"

"Hell has frozen over." - UCLA Alumni

According to the latest US News and World Report, the University of Southern California has overtaken our crosstown rivals in their annual rankings and FINALLY, cracked the top 25 in National Universities!

USC is ranked #23, and UCLA is at #25. Cal is currently #22, and Pac-10 conference leader Stanford is ranked #5.

This is a tremendous achievement by outgoing president Steven Sample, and is a testament to the years of hard work and fund-raising he did on behalf of the University. It is only going to get better! There are master plans to continue to improve the USC experience, with demolishion and revamping of the University Village (home of the 3-2 Market), more development on campus, and more prestigious instructors.

Because USC is private, the school isn't strapped to a bankrupt State, and will continue to flourish while public schools like across town and up in Berkeley will suffer some from funding cuts.
